Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) | 939
You must enable routing on one or more interfaces to establish adjacencies and establish dynamic 
routing. 
Only one IS-IS routing process can be configured to perform Level 2 routing. A level-1-2 designation 
performs Level 1 and Level 2 routing at the same time.

Commands
set-overload-bit 
e 
Configure the router to set the overload bit in its non-pseudonode LSPs. This prevents other routers 
from using it as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations. 
Syntax
set-overload-bit
To return to the default values, enter no set-overload-bit.
Defaults
Not set.
Command Mode
ROUTER ISIS (for IPv4)
CONFIGURATION-ROUTER-ISIS-ADDRESS-FAMILY-IPV6 (for IPv6)
Usage
Information
Set the overload bit when a router experiences problems, such as a memory shortage due to an 
incomplete link state database which can result in an incomplete or inaccurate routing table. If you set 
the overload bit in its LSPs, other routers ignore the unreliable router in their SPF calculations until the 
router has recovered.
